11 .-- True life is one continuous prayer, one unceasing aspiration after the holy.

I have no conception of a life insensible to that which is not above itself lofty.

I would not take it on myself to say I have been 'born again,' but I know that I have passed from death to life.

Things below have no hold upon me further than as they lead to things above.

It is not a moral restraint that I have over myself, but it is such a change, a conversion of my whole being, that I have no need of restraint.
